NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal is widely recognized for his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he is also a two-time Olympic Gold medalist. O’Neal recounted the time he tossed his Olympic Gold medal out of a car window in frustration because he had played restricted minutes in the game via a recent episode of “The BIG Podcast.” “The Olympic Games ‘96, I played throughout helped them come back, win games. In the gold medal game, Lenny Wilkens says hey this is probably David Robinson’s last game so he’s going to get more minutes. I say cool, I want to play, but he didn’t play me at all until like the last two minutes. So I got put in the last two minutes, I was so pissed off after the ceremony, I drove home in my uniform and I threw the goddamn medal out the window on I-75,” said the Big Diesel.
